Kenneth Anthony Oats
1988 – 2022

Kenneth Anthony Oats, the son of Marta Castro Pinargote, was born on December 26, 1988, in Miramar, Florida. He was a lifelong resident of the area.

Because of his selfless love for all, he was regarded as the family patriarch. Kenneth was a big teddy bear who had a giving heart of gold. He was happiest when he put others first, for he wanted to take care of everyone else.

Boredom was never an option for Kenneth because he was too busy being involved in his pastime interests – computers, video games, chess, movies, reading, and football. He especially loved his X-Box, Anime conventions, and the Greenbay Packers. A special childhood memory of him was that at eight years of age, he entered a karate tournament battling a fever. Through perseverance he won the competition and brought home a shiny trophy. He also had an awareness in things that many others would cease to notice. One of his main passions was reading classical literature and comic books. Through his constant search for new information and content he developed a broader understanding of the world around him. He was truly brilliant and had the mind of a genius.

Kenneth was a deep thinker who analyzed the connection of life and the universe. He always kept a pen and a pad close by to jot down inciteful ideas. His philosophical approach gave new meaning to simple things that would otherwise be taken for granted. One of his greatest conclusions was the importance of his family's happiness. It was always his most favorite "what if" and he constantly thought of ways to make it happen for them.

Kenneth Anthony Oats departed this life on Monday, January 31, 2022. He will genuinely be missed because the family chain has been broken but through faith, his family knows that one by one, they will meet him again one day.

"Death leaves heartaches that no one can heal. Love leaves memories that no one can steal."
